These stories are rehashed and retold, and with seemingly constant updates!

So, what’s going on? Or maybe the question is, what’s not going on? Is it that there is so little news that news media need to rehash stories to fill space and time? Or is it lazy journalism, with reporters preferring to rehash these “hot topics” rather than do some research as to what else is going on in the world?

Personally I think it’s over the top. If there is no news then a few decent feel good stories would go down well. Cutting the TV news short couldn’t hurt either. Or maybe we could spend a bit more time on stories outside of New Zealand? There is certainly plenty of interesting events going on elsewhere in the world.
